Industry Reviews
"The watercolor and color-pencil illustrations with photographic and digital elements play the silliness to the hilt with Mama at center stage in purple glasses, yellow hat with red rose, red shoes, and floral-print dress. Handsomely designed, the quality paper, pie-filled endpapers and large size add just the right pizzazz. Shaggy-haired, diaper-clad Epossumondas becomes a new name for a classic character with a wry, southern twist, and no misunderstanding--it's outrageous fun!"
Kirkus Reviews (08/01/2002)
"The delicately detailed pencil and watercolor drawings by Janet Steven perfectly amplify the great humor of the story...the Southern cadence of Salley's voice, best captured when the story is read aloud again and again, is what makes this regional tale a treasure."
New York Times Book Review - Betsy Groban (11/17/2002)
